Brighton 2 - 0 Bees

[Eieieio]

We seem incapable of keeping the ball beyond a few seconds

 

[bees1984]

Oh my.

Before we absolutely hammer Alvaro, ask yourself if David would have found himself in a similar spot. I suspect he would have, because of how we play with a higher line.

He might have been far enough out to cut it out mind. Alvaro didn't get out of his area

 

[pompeybee]

Simple goal. Keeper nowhere.

He shouldn't have been onside.

 

[A Real Mysteron]

We need to be bit bolder against probably the worst defence we will play against all season.
Dan bloody Burn?

 

[Beesmeister]

This is worrying

 

[TW3Bee]

Need to get to half time, without further damage.

 

[North London Bee]

Need to cling on

 

[aslan]

Keepers fault.

Yeah, should've stayed on his line and let trossard take it down and have another 2 touches

 

[UtrechtBee]

I'm personally getting sick and tired of starting games 1-0 down against crap teams

 

[Stofer]

Really good finish ( unfortunately), can’t fault the keeper. All started with Mads hoofing the ball forward in hope when he had plenty of time to pick a simple pass.
Plenty of time for us to get back into this, but BHA look class on the ball.

 

[doctor_bee(MBBS)]

Wissa coming on for Bryan

 

[Jimmy_kingg]

Fkin hell, we need half time here.

 

[brooks]

Brighton making Bees look like a shambles.

 

[vcmazz]

FFS. We can't keep doing this fannying about at the back when the players that can actually do it are missing.

 

[Houghton Bee]

Practically begging Brighton to score a second here.

 

[aslan]

Bryan injured?

 

[TW3Bee]

f***ing Hell.

 

[North London Bee]

There it is

 

[brentfordfc4ever]

Hopefully Mbeumo is OK!

 

[jbee]

I'm personally getting sick and tired of starting games 1-0 down against crap teams

They are not crap. They are ahead of us in their development. We are really struggling here.

 

[Friji]

2-0, oh dear

 

[TW3Bee]

Practically begging Brighton to score a second here.

And there it is.

 

[ladbroke]

Think you need to look at our free kick from MBS, nowhere near a yellow shirt

Was about to say the same.

 

[Ashford Bees]

FFS

 

[UtrechtBee]

And an ex-Bees player comes back to haunt us

 

[Gparsfan]

That's very poor by Norgaard, dives in needlessly, gets up and jogs back, with Maupay running of him.


We look dreadful.

 

[HerefordB]

Dreadful in midfield. No threat up front.

 

[Eieieio]

Terrible from us.

 

[UtrechtBee]

They are not crap. They are ahead of us in their development. We are really struggling here.

I meant that more as a general comment

 

[brooks]

Shocking display all round.

 

[RAF_Patto]

63% Pass Accuracy from just 127 passes so far in this half sums it up.

This is going to be a long evening.

 

[Friji]

Losing every second ball here, nightmare

 

[longtimeagobee]

I'm personally getting sick and tired of starting games 1-0 down against crap teams

Nope, definitely 0-0 at the start.

 

[lanzabee]

Fair play to Maupay, great goal, zero celebration.

 

[Paul USA]

and that is that - sadly we are not anywhere near this race - and Man City up next ??

 

[North London Bee]

Appalling capitulation by an admittedly weak squad

 

[BedfontRed]

Fact Check We’ve been sh*t

 

[aslan]

We're all over the place. Great finish mind

 

[Houghton Bee]

White flag raised.

 

[UtrechtBee]

For me Mbeumo hasn't been the same devastating attacker since Benhrama and Watkins left the club

 

[Rob-BEE]

We will get absolutely hammered if we play like this on Wednesday. Brighton are OK, but we just can't get a hold of the ball.

And we'll be playing City without our 2 best defensive midfielders!

 

[Hampshire Bee 2018]

Norgaard missing Tuesday.. oh dear.

 

[TW3Bee]

That's not a foul or a yellow, and if they score here it's a disgrace.

 

[doctor_bee(MBBS)]

63% Pass Accuracy from just 127 passes so far in this half sums it up.

This is going to be a long evening.

We do look poor in possession, we seem to get dispossessed and have a tendency to just pass to opposition players

 

[bees1984]

We need more bite in midfield as our balance seems all off. Can't keep hold of the ball and they are passing through us far too easily

 

[The Pipe]

Oh well: damn good goal from Maupay and well done to him for not celebrating.

We do look distinctly second best in this game and not sure we have the tools available to turn it round.

Christian booked and suspended against City for what was not a foul. Oh well sh*t happens

 

[beebopalula]

Need a v active january window

 

[Andy_Mc_is_God]

Brighton making Bees look like a shambles.

We’re making Brighton look like Brazil.
We won’t win many games constantly giving the ball away like this ?

 

[Eieieio]

Anyone else think we might need a change of system? I really like our set up against the bigger teams but against teams where I feel we should be dominating or at least seeing more of the ball it feels like we aren't taking the fight to but rather ceding possession and allowing wave after wave and the constant targeting of our wingbacks.

Also sidenote - Sergi keeps committing to 5050s that he rarely comes out winning leaving us exposed time after time. Love the enthusiasm but needs to temper it when we're not comfortable...

 

[mundee4england]

City could be fun without Christian and Vitaly! Gulp!
